Lindy's has a one-line analysis of each team and it notes that of Dartmouth's 10 All-Ivy League honorees last year only linebacker Bronson Green returns.
Not surprisingly, Cornell quarterback Jeff Mathews was predicted to be the Ivy League's offensive player of the year. The defensive lineman of the year according to Lindy's will be Penn D-lineman Brandon Copeland.
Here's how Lindy's predicted Dartmouth's non-conference opponents would fare:
Butler – 6th of 10 in the Pioneer Football League
Holy Cross – 3rd of 7 in the Patriot League
Sacred Heart – 7th of 9 in the Northeast Conference

The games are all on Sept. 15. They are:
- San Diego at Harvard
- Marist at Columbia
- Butler at Dartmouth

In a video on the school's football page, Princeton coach Bob Surace talks about the chance that his star running back will return to the Tigers this fall after suffering a stroke. Fortunately for those of us who don't have the patience to sit through a video waiting for that one tidbit of interest to us, The Sports Network did the watching for us and has a story. It starts this way:
Members of the Princeton University football program are hopeful that standout running back Chuck Dibilio will play again this season.
But the Tigers continue to approach coach Bob Surace's third season as if the 2011 Ivy League Rookie of the Year will not play following his mild stroke in January.
